how to show full name in BP profile header

[5high-photohub]

Hi,

I’m trying to show members full name in their BP profile headers as well as their @user name. I did have it working a while ago by editing a copy of bp member-header.php in my child theme – but now it just doesn’t work!

Has Kleo done something regarding this is an update?

Would appreciate some help in fixing this.

Many thanks, j

Hi,

Are you sure that the child theme is activated ? try to deactivate, activate.

Also you can try with this plugin : https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-real-names/

@ Radu,

Sorry it’s taken so long to reply – just as well though as (rather embarrassingly) i found that I had in fact forgotten to change back to my child theme after doing some tests with the original Kleo theme! Duh!

BUT it’s still not working, yet it was a few months back- but now only showing the @username in members’ profiles.

What I want, and had, is for the member’s full name to sit above the @users’ name just below it, and this is the code I’m using in the BP member-header.php in my child theme:

COPY CODE

<?php
/**
 * Fires before the display of a member's header.
 * @since 1.2.0
 */
do_action( 'bp_before_member_header' ); ?>

<div id="item-header-avatar">
	<a href="<?php bp_displayed_user_link(); ?>">

		<?php bp_displayed_user_avatar( 'type=full' ); ?>

	</a>
</div><!-- #item-header-avatar -->

<div id="item-header-content">

	<?php if ( bp_is_active( 'activity' ) && bp_activity_do_mentions() ) : ?>
		<br><h2 class="user-nicename"><?php bp_displayed_user_displayname(); ?></h2>/br>
				<h2 class="user-nicename">@<?php bp_displayed_user_mentionname(); ?></h2>
	<?php endif; ?>

	<span class="activity"><?php bp_last_activity( bp_displayed_user_id() ); ?></span>

	<?php

And I’ve tried it with bp_displayed_user_displayname and bp_displayed_user_fullname.

Can you confirm if I’ve put the code in the correct place? Or do I have to add something else in the child functions.php as I’ve read?

I appreciate this isn’t essential to make my site work, but it makes it much easier for members.

Many thanks, j

PS: also tries with bp_displayed_user_niename and it doesn’t work. So I’m either inputing the wromg code or got it in the wrong place!
Any ideas?

Hi,

Try like this

COPY CODE

$sq7bpusername = bp_displayed_user_displayname(bp_displayed_user_id());
echo $sq7bpusername;

If this it not works try to add global $bp before the declarations something like this

COPY CODE

global $bp;
$sq7bpusername = bp_displayed_user_displayname(bp_displayed_user_id());
echo $sq7bpusername;

Cheers

Thanks for your quick reply Radu.
Just to be clear for the code placement, would I put your suggested code in the same BP member-header.php in my child theme? As it looks quite different to the code that’s currently there (as above).
– If so could you clarify which bits it would replace in it?
– And if not which file would I put it in?
Cheers, j

Instead of bp_displayed_user_displayname() from this context :

/br>

But this should work by default… try also to de-activate all plugins except buddypress and disable also the child theme and try again also if you have some cache plugin purche caches and de-activate it.
